About us

Sainte-Famille is the oldest family run winery in Nova Scotia, located in Falmouth, just south of the Bay of Fundy.  We invite you to grab a glass and enjoy our patio views, one perched on the edge of our lush vineyard, the other facing a spectacular view of the Avon Valley and our local ski hill, Ski Martock. 

History

Owners; Sue and Doug Corkum have been growing grapes for over 35 years and producing award winning wines for over 25 years.  They reside on a property adjacent to the vineyard, Sue continues to offer tours of her vineyard, and Doug can often be found at local markets with some of their outstanding wines. 

Vineyard & Terroir

Sainte-Famille is one of the warmest vineyard sites in Nova Scotia, resulting in rich full bodied reds, and whites with exceptional character.

Winemaking & Aging

All our wines are crafted by award winning wine maker Tony Barkhouse. 

We are a proud producer of Tidal Bay, the signature white wine of Nova Scotia.  This wine brilliantly reflects the terroir, coastal breezes and cooler climates of Nova Scotia. 

At The Winery

Sainte-Famille offers daily tours at 10 am and 2 pm.  We also offer tastings throughout the day in our retail shop. Feel free to grab a glass and enjoy our patio or stroll through our vineyard. 

We also have a venue that is perfect for a variety of functions, especially weddings!
